    Arguably more interesting is the Klallam word for ‘(american) white person’ pástən [ˈpaˑstən] which is from Boston

    Last time this happened, I threw up a little and it got on my bib and the nurse said “that’s okay, it’s normal” and I knew it wasn’t but I’m glad she said it anyway

    A lot of Alaskan and Arctic natives were encountered first by explorers instead of missionaries (that would come after though). Aleut and Yup’ik were in contact primarily at first with Siberian fur traders called promyshlenniki who were also called cossacks
